Entertaining battles so far in the series
So far in the series between Oilers and Kings, the games have been entertaining and very close as three of the four games that have been played have gone to overtime. The four games have, like recently mentioned, been entertaining with a lot of goals scored and a lot of goal scoring chances created. If we look to the four games that has been played so far in this series, they have resulted in this way:
- Edmonton Oilers-Los Angeles Kings 3-4 after overtime
- Edmonton Oilers-Los Angeles Kings 4-2
- Los Angeles Kings- Edmonton Oilers 3-2 after overtime
- Los Angeles Kings- Edmonton Oilers 4-5 after overtime
Like I mentioned earlier, the series has, besides a lot of goals, so far contained a big amount of goal scoring chances with more than sixty shots on goal per game during regular time.
The star players show themselves from the best side
The most recent game was won by Edmonton Oilers and it was Zach Hyman who became the big match winner after the game winning goal after ten minutes of the first overtime period. Besides Hyman, who is noted for a total of three points in the four games, the star players from the Oilers has showed themselves from the best side so far as Leon Draisatl has scored nine points and Connor McDavid six, after an impressing performance from both in game four as Draisatl scored two goals and was noted for an assist and McDavid with three assist on his account.
For Kings, the Swiss forward Kevin Fiala made a welcomed comeback in game four after he missed the opening three games of the series. During the regular season, Fiala was noted for 72 points in 69 games. Kevin Fiala showed himself from his best side in the comeback game on Sunday night as he assisted to two goals in the first period where the Kings advanced to a 3-0-lead, which they later lost. Besides Fiala, the Kings have a lot of offensively contributors that have stepped forward in Fiala’s absence. I am here talking about players like Anze Kopitar, Adrian Kempe and Viktor Arvidsson who all have scored more than one point per game in this series so far.
Conclusion and prediction
Which team will take the advantage of the series this night? That is the big question ahead of game five between Edmonton Oilers and Los Angeles king as the series is tied 2-2 and the fifth game is set to be played this evening. I think that this game, like the four previous, is going to be an entertaining one with a lot of goal scoring in both directions. The star players in both teams has topped the form and players show themselves from the best side as players like Connor McDavid and Leon Draisatl delivers for the Oilers and players like Kevin Fiala and Anze Kopitar does the same for Kings. With these conditions, I think we are going to see at least six goals be scored during regular time tonight.
